So you want mages to be able to do merchant-quality fw:s? Somehow I think that
might cause some tune-issues.

That will definitely cause issues, but you might make the merchant fw's last
1.5 times as long or something. And limit mages to some 50% skill (perhaps
that's already the case, just making sure).

Yes, basically this is what I'm asking. Infact, mage fws would probably be
better due to higher wis in some cases. Regardless, at the moment it is hard
as hell to find a merchant to do anything, let alone find a merchant period.
I'm guessing the money making gems that got tuned to crap had something to do
with this.

Saldas's idea of making merchant fws last longer seems like the right way to
go, but instead, have mage fws last half the time and keep merchant fw's at
full time.

We already have feather weight and cast transformation. Giving us the mastery
so we could do decent fws to our eq would be nice so I wouldn't have to spend
hours asking wanted for decent merch fw's or waiting to party because someone
needs fw's and there are no merchants to be found.

Seems you are seeking a quick fix to the problem. Probably best to enhance
merchant a fws and stop downtuning their money making ability. Since people
take merchant to .....make money!

To be honest, fws are pain in the ass, prots are even worse. Just lower the
cost of fws and merchants would probably cast those more. Now if the moon is
bad, it takes 171 sps to cast one fw. When i was merchant i did tick with my
set bit over 150. Ofcourse 100% spell helps after the cast. Normally people
spammed "can you do fws?" while i was mining or at work. While i was mining, i
did not have sprset with me, so i would regen even less than i would when
prepaired and when i am at work, i would not like to watch mud over 10 minutes
in a row.

Mass fw would have been nice option for me. Gave it a little thought, and it
could be tied to fw %(must be high) and mastery %. Then cost per item could be
200-250 sps, so it would be much higher. It would not be used unless merchant
can be without sps for some time. This problem has actually occured over the
time, when i started playing people didn't carry 3 sets of eq with them, now
it's usual. It doesn't require rocket scientist to realize need of fws has
multiplied compared to old times, but merchants regen has not or the
spellcost.

I agree with most of the points on the 'feather weight' issue, but I found it
rather funny when justifying uptunes with 'Can't play from work' 'Not carrying
spr-set with me' ... what about 'carrying spr set with you' and 'not playing
from work'? :) guess these rather insignificant replies wont remove the issue
but...

Atleast I have received my feather weights "daily" and sometimes caster is
newbie sometimes midbie... never missed party or anything for lacking fws

And I'm throwing it out. Not only do mages have very, very few transformation
spells, I'm not giving them bonuses to owl/unicorn form.
